I imagine most people who run snapshots tend to (like me) jump from one recent snapshot to slightly newer ones, but in principle going from the most recent release to a snapshot should not be much different from upgrading from one release to the next. With the info provided it's next to impossible to pinpoint just what fails in your case, but my hunch is that you made some sort of mistake during the upgrade process. Hard to tell which without more information about your environment and hardware (dmesg much appreciated when supplied). - Peter -- Peter N. M.
